Real Wedding: Jen and Andy, II

Today we are featuring the loveliest wedding ever, filled with gorgeous DIY projects and a graphic designer’s touch. Loving every little bit of this wedding, from the chic color palette, a muted gray and a bright green, to the edited, modern elegant style.

From Jen…

The moment I put on my Amy Kuschel dress, I loved it. But for three months after I bought it right off the rack, I was certain it was the wrong dress for me. Finally, one day at a red light, I blurted out, “I don’t think I like my dress!” Andy asked if I could return it, I told him that’s not how wedding dresses worked, he asked if I could figure out a way to learn to like it. It took me a few months, but the second I saw my husband trying on his classic tux, and I imagined that moment-after shot of us walking back down the aisle, the dress seemed perfect. Looking back, I love its simple glamour, and it let me have more fun with my jewelry and hair. I finished off the look with sassy magenta silk Nine West peep-toes I’d bought off the clearance rack. They didn’t go with anything, but I just liked them. My bridesmaids looked lovely in Melissa Sweet gowns, in different styles of gray chiffon, silk and satin. Two have already worn them again!
